North Caucasian etymology :
Search within this database
Proto-North Caucasian: *=ilq̇_wVn
Meaning: to stick into; to sew
Notes: It may be hard to separate PL *wilq̇ʷina 'knitting needle' from PC *biq̇ʷVna and PA *biḳ:ʷVn id.: the explanation lies in a merger of two phonetically close EC roots - *=ilq̇_wVn 'to sew' and *=iḳ_wVn 'to spin, to knit' q. v. The common EC derivate *wiḳ_wVnV (which should have given *wiḳʷVn(a) in PL) merged with PL *wilq̇ʷina (a derivate from the root *=ilq̇_wVn). The EC-WC comparison see in Абдоков 1983, 162.

Lezghian etymology :

Proto-Lezghian: *ʔi(l)q̇ʷVn-
Meaning: 1 to sew 2 to embroider
Lezghian: c̣-uq̇- (Akht.) 1
Agul: d-uq̇- 1
Rutul: u=q̇a- 2 (Khniukh.)
Comment: Cf. also Ag. Bursh. d-uq̇an-as 'to sew' (pointing to the PL -n-conjugation). The verbal root has two nominal derivates: 1) PL *wilq̇ʷina / *luq̇ʷina : Lezg. aq̇ʷan (Khl. q̇un) "knitting needle", Ag. luq̇um "seam", Rut. luq̇un, Tsakh. wuq̇una, Kryz., Bud. q̇un (Kryz. and. Bud. possibly < Lezg.) "knitting needle". It is not quite clear whether Tab. q̇al "knitting needle" should be also related here (perhaps also Ud. mil id., if mil < *miq̇Vl < *wilq̇ʷVn ?) 2) PL *t:-ilq̇ʷ(a) : Tab. durq̇-ar "loom", Ag. duq̇-um "thread" (Burk. diq̇um). An old Lezghian loan is possibly Khin. won "knitting needle" ( < *q̇ʷon ? or < *woq̇n, cf. the Shakh-Dagh and Tsakh. forms), although the loss of *q̇ʷ in Khin. is rather strange.
